'Behold the Pale Horseman' by Darla Teagarden is a dark series capturing Camille Nicole mounted on a skeletal dinosaur rocking horse in a misty, barren forest.
The model is styled by Summer Lawson wearing a black horse-like headdress covering her mouth, and long draping frocks designed by the Black Swan Theory. The model's pale skin almost blends into the stark background and her ebony accessories add a gothic feel to the shoot.
Darla is a San Francisco native who creates scenes that are influenced by children's literature, theatre and pop surrealism.
